Free DCE does the hard job of noise reducing and automatic balance control for you. And it is free!

The program works best if you have bad light condition (indoor, shadows etc..) and your image is somehow off. So if some of your images are already fine, you won't see much difference. DCE makes very delicate changes...

One thing makes DCEnhancer different from other tools - reducing the noise and skin smoothing algorithm. It makes DCE ideal for making cool portraits and close-ups!

First you have to find out the optimal settings for your camera.

There are just few sliders you will be changing more often:

- Midtones - if your image is too dark or too bright
- De-Noiser - to reduce noise and skin artifacts from the objects on the image.

Note: This software is intended for advanced users. Most of the sliders work in the default position. (As on the screen capture). You should gently change one of the sliders just little and then see the effects.

Once you find your optimal settings, it should work on most of your images from the same camera. And you will always find images where it doesn't work...
